ABSTRACT

The Turner syndrome 45, X is the most frequent chromosomal constitution, but there are also some variants of this, as mosaic Turner XX/X0. The literature shows that women with these diseases rarely conceive, because of the high incidence of sterility. The aim of this paper is to present a 22- year- old patient with a history of mild intellectual disability, who was diagnosed with mosaic karyotype 46XX/45X0 when the patient was 13 years old. The patient was assissted at Clinical Genetics Consultation and at 21 years, a pregnancy was diagnosed.
